On March 7, 2010, the Canadian government added al-Shabaab, a Somali insurgent group with links to al-Qaeda, to this country’s terrorist list, following claims that the organization is targeting Canadian youth.

The designation came somewhat out of the blue and a week after the British government did the same thing, raising the questions: Who is this group and what is known about them?

What is al-Shabaab?

The al-Shabaab Mujahedeen is an armed group of mostly young adherents in Somalia with links to al-Qaeda. Shabaab means youth in Arabic.

The group currently controls large swaths of southern Somalia, including parts of the capital, Mogadishu.

The Stratfor intelligence company puts the number of al-Shabaab fighters at 6,000-7,000.

When was the group formed?

In 2006, a loosely affiliated group known as the Islamic Courts Union, composed of Sharia court officials and other Islamists, took control of much of southern Somalia, including Mogadishu, from the Transitional Federal Government.

In July, neighbouring Ethiopia, with U.S. backing, invaded Somalia and defeated the ICU forces by the end of the year.

The defeat led to the splintering of the ICU coalition and al-Shabaab was one of two prominent hard-line groups that emerged from the ICU as a separate organization.

At the time, Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders were issuing statements about Somalia, including calls for foreign Islamists to go there and fight.

What relationship is there between al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab?

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times in 2008, Sheik Muktar Robow, an al-Shabaab leader and spokesman, said the group was negotiating with al-Qaeda to “unite into one.”

He said al-Shabaab would take orders from bin Laden and that, “al-Qaeda is the mother of the holy war in Somalia.”

Robow went on to say that “most of our leaders were trained in al-Qaeda camps. We get our tactics and guidelines from them. Many have spent time with Osama bin Laden.”

Nevertheless, in February 2010, the BBC claimed that al-Shabaab had just, “confirmed for the first time that its fighters are aligned with al-Qaeda’s global militant campaign.”

The story was picked up by many other news organizations.

What does al-Shabaab want?

According to a statement released in December 2007, al-Shabaab is:

“Seeking to establish an Islamic state along the lines of the Taliban-ruled, by-the-law-of-Allah in the land of Somalia; regards the rulers of the Muslim world today as branches of the international conspiracy against Islam, and thus they are to be regarded as infidels and overthrown; [and] seeks to expand the jihad to Somalia’s Christian neighbours, with the intent of driving the infidels out of the Horn of Africa, along the same lines as al-Qaeda has been striving to do under the slogan, ‘expelling the infidels out of the Arabian Peninsula.’”

Who are the leaders?

The movement’s founder was Aden Hashi Ayro who he was killed in a U.S. air strike on May 1, 2008.

In the obituary for their fallen leader, al-Shabaab said that the 1993 battle for Mogadishu was, “the first time he fought under the supervision of al-Qaeda.”

Ayro went on to become a top leader of the Islamic Courts Union, along with Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the former insurgent who is currently the president of Somalia, supported by the U.S. government.

Al-Shabaab’s current leader, Sheikh Mukhtar Abu az-Zubair, was born in Somaliland in 1977. He was seriously injured in an al-Shabaab explosion gone wrong but has apparently recovered.

Rising in the ranks is Omar Hammami (a.k.a. Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki, “the American”). He was born in the U.S. and, according to news reports, baptized in a Southern Baptist church.

Hammami moved to Toronto in 2004 and married a Somali-Canadian woman during the year he lived in the city.

For at least the past three years he has been in Somalia with al-Shabaab, playing a prominent role in their recruitment campaign.

How does the West feel about al-Shabaab?

Al-Shabaab is classified as a terrorist organization in the U.S., Australia, Sweden and Norway, as well as now Canada and the U.K., pending parliamentary approval.

In 2009, CBC News reported federal government suspicions that al-Shabaab may have recruited as many as 30 Somali-Canadians.

Is there any relationship between al-Shabaab and Somali pirates?

“There is no overt relationship between al-Shabaab and pirate gangs,” according to the author of the 2009 book, Terror on the Seas: True Tales of Modern Day Pirates.

In an interview with CBC News, Canadian Daniel Sekulich went on to say that despite “diametrically opposed goals, there is suspicion that al-Shabaab may be allowing pirates to operate from their territory in order to gain some income.”

Terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann, from the NEFA Foundation, notes that al-Shabaab is “a movement which is cash-hungry and can recognize valuable pragmatic opportunities when they exist.”

Injustice is one of the terrible problems attributed to Rayaale nowadays. Judges and police of Somaliland are all corrupted. For example, the majority of Judges in the entire country are not qualified for the job. Accordingly, Professional conduct is out of hand, and paying a dime or two for bribery, even if you have committed 1st degree murder, could make you in the clear. In another example, if you squatter in one’s home or plot of land and claim that it is yours, then its yours and you could have it. Well, when you hear me say that, you may get surprised and say that is impossible, but there is nothing impossible here. In reality, it happens alot and I will explain to you how – all you have to do is, go to the front yards of government courts. You will find there men playing nine men’s Morris (shax) in groups just to pass the time until a customer comes - a customer who could oil their palm nicely for an illicit advantage. These men are the false witnesses. they commit perjury for their daily bread and they are above the law as they are the pals of the Judge. Once you do so, the penny you give talks – follows this, the pronouncement of the judge that you are free of guilt and once for all you win the case. A third example is that the police always catch thieves, criminals and perpetrators in the act daily. If these wrongdoers bribe the Police on the spot, they get release immediately and never face charges at all. These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Thus, the judges break the law and they are guilty in that, they decree wrongful convictions, false confessions and practice barratry in the course of their kangaroo court rulings daily. Similarly, the Police are felonious on their part as well. As a result, Rayaale is directly or indirectly responsibile of all this mess as long as he is the president of the state.

Another problematic issue Rayaale is to blame for is unemployment. Neither the president nor his Administration has addressed the matter nationwide. Instead, IRIN, an independent news agency released a report about the unemployment rate in Somaliland, at the end of this year. It shows that 80% of the population is unemployed. According to this report, women make up 55% out of this, while the remaining 25% are all men. Only 20% work in government and private sectors. Despite the dimension of the problem, Rayaale and government did nothing tangible to tackle the problem effectively. In addition, the report presented in detail about youth exodus and risks involving death in the high seas on their way to Europe searching for jobs and better life.

Another scenario, worth mentioning is the scale of corruption imputed to Rayaale too. Certainly, there is no doubt that jobbery in all its forms and shapes, be it graft, venality, extortion, kickbacks and embezzlement exist within the circle of incumbents in Somaliland, in one way or the other. For instance, Haatuf press has charged president Rayaale himself for misappropriation of public funds for his personal use, many times. To proof that to the public, Haatuf press showed on its Front-page pictures of buildings, farms and cars with different plate numbers that he has taken illegally from public money and how it happened. In another incident, Haatuf, published how Siciid Sulub, the most corrupted minister in his cabinet, auctioned government land from Businessmen on behalf of the president. A week later, Rayaale made press conference and confirmed that the Minister was right to do so, as he did not mention either what the government is going to do with money. Suspicion and public mistrust surfaced in the political arena in the wake of this political gaffe, which evinces that Rayaale and his government use public money as a Cash Cow of their own.

In addition, Rayaale’s record on human rights is the fourth predicament. Abuse of human rights in Somaliland is rife. There is no freedom of expression at full-scale. Last year Human rights watch reported of three politicians jailed for their views. moreover, the organization raised the case of Maxamad Daahir Cumar, a journalist the police have beaten with a club and seized his camera, while he was busy covering in small-scale riots that happened in Dacarbudhuq last month, a small district adjacent to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland.

Finally, Rayaale unconstitutionally made a self-defeating decision after giving green light Djibouti army to assume the safety of Ugaas Mustafa from Ciise tribe, who visited Saylac for his coronation. Intermittent shootings was reported at Lawyacado village along the border between the two countries, after the two armies got in loggerhead as to who will undertake the security measures of the Ugas and the region as a whole. According to the latest reports from Saylac.com, eventually, Somaliland army took over the control, maintained the peace and order, and drove the foreign troops out of the territory without any casualties. As a result of that, the wrong idea of allowing foreign troops to operate inside the country was very risky in the first place. secondly, it is another blunder and the latest Rayaale did against the sovereignty of Somaliland and that of our national pride. 

In conclusion, Rayaale has done much chaos in the country and the most important ones are: the injustice, the corruption, the high unemployment rate, the pinching of our national pride and the human rights abuse. Therefore, one can see that Rayaale is incompetent to lead the country in the modern way of politics. As a result, I strongly believe that it is a grave mistake to vote for him again for another term in office.

The expectations of the people from president Rayale were included persuading many leaders in the world to recognize Somaliland, recommend the reforms within the constitution and making it serve fully to the nation and putting down a new power sharing formula acceptable to all people in the country in which this country desperately needs as well as redefining Gurti delivering far more professionally than it is today. None of these were realized under the present government.  

The system that Egal left behind was uneasy because the constitution of the state was tailored to fit the president in office else it would have been to serve the nation. However the most unfortunate thing is that current political parties in Somaliland do not see an eye to eye on the constitution as a potential problem even if constitutional crisis repeats itself again somewhere down the road.  

I urge on our political parties to present for possible solution for Gurti and parliament and the constitution by taking examples from similar countries. As to how the constitution and parliament and Gurti will work together under one constitution is yet creating confusion among many people in the country and that needs to be corrected and re- defined.  I think the best system for Gurti is that it should work as an upper house of parliament like in many states of the world and be accorded with privileges and terms of reference enshrined within the constitution to get rid of suspicions within our both houses of parliament.  

The current composition of the Elders house is acceptable since each and every tribe in Somaliland is represented in the house unlike before the members focused mainly on peace making but from now on we need men who specialized on each and every aspect of life having the status of an upper house of many countries in the world. The members should have people from every region with strong background in the following discipline: 

• Religion
• Science 
• Social science
• Law
• Doctor
• Military
• Social
• Culture
• Economic
• Foreign relations

The members of Gurti in accordance with the current composition of members will not be elected but selected on the basis of their knowledge and experience in the above mentioned subjectsor areas and the selection will be made by the election commission following an advertisement of relevant posts to each and every governor’s office with all the conditions required to be fulfilled for example relevant educational and experience and age limit meaning in short  members will be selected in a manner other than by popular election.   On the day of selection and appointment; the political parties together with regional government representatives will be present on the occasion as an observer to ensure that all conditions of relevant posts were carried out in a satisfactory manner.

Ismacil Cumar Geele oo danbiyo gudaha ah gaystay sida xadhiga iyo jidh dilka shacabka Jabuuti ee aan ahayn beesha ciise loo gaystay sanadihii sideetamaadkii markii Xassan Guled talada hayey ee Hudheelka la qarxiyey iyo isagoo lagu eedeeyey inuu gaystay dilkii xaakin faransiis ah iyo falal badan oo argagixiso u badan oo uu shacabka ku hayo  – ayaa baryahan badalay siyaasadiisa – isagoo u badalay dhul balaadhsi.

Keenista uu keenay Ugaaska beeshiisa Saylac oo dalka Itoobiya ee lagu caleemo saari jiray hadii uu jiray caleemo saarba ayaa shacabku xaqiiqsadeen inuu Ismacil bixiyey lacag malaayiin kor u dhaafaysa. Waxa ilo lagu kalsoon yahay cadeeyeen  in lacagtaa qayb ka mid ah lagu laa luushay Dahir Rayale si uu u hor istaago qalalaase ku yimaada ugaaska beenta ah ee la keenay Somaliland. Jabuuti oo aan ictiraafsanayn Somaliland ayey af kala qaad ku noqotay shacabka in xukuumada necab shacabka hadana dhelka shacabka ay si sharci daro ah kusoo galaan waliba ay lasoo galaan ciidan aan haysan dalku joog ama “Visa.”

Fadeexada ugaaska Jabuuti ayaa Dahir Rayale ku noqonaysa cadayta in uu yahay calooshiisa u shaqayste dalka u jooga lacag urursi oo aan lahayn dhiiga iyo wadaniyada shacabka Somaliland ay wadagaan  sida ay u dhan yihiin.

Xukuumada sii dumaysa ee Dahir Rayale wax war ah kamay soo saarin is rasaasaynta ka dhacday Saylac iyo sida sharafta loga qaaday madax banaanida Somaliland.

Hadaba hadii ay ku cadaato in Dahir Rayale lacag ku qaatay in uu keeno dad aan u dhalan, kuna dhalan Somaliland – iyagoo iska dhigaya inay dalka u dhasheen oo ay ka danbeeyaan arimo siyaasadeed – ayaa Dahir Rayale waxay ku waajibinaysaa in maxkamad lasoo taago marka xukunka laga qaado. Arintan oo sii balaadhinaysa list-ka danbiyada qaran ee uu ka galay shacabka iyo dalka.

Ismacil Cumar Geele ayaa sidoo kale aan ku farxin sida ay u dhacday dhoolo tuskii siyaasadaysnaa ee uu rabay inuu kusii joogo aqalka looga taliyo Jabuuti kadib markii odayada gobolka Shiniile ee Itoobiya ay weriyayaasha u sheegeen inayna raali ka ahayn imaanshaha ugaas uu yimid Somaliland.

The inclusion of the word leadership in the announcement sounded alarm bells. It created in the minds of some that the gathering will be used as forum to launch a long distance assault on the performance of the incumbent while providing a favorable publicity for those campaigning to oust him from office. 

Last week I asked Ahmed I. Samatar, one of the principal organizers of the convention, about these concerns. Mr. Samatar, who is James Wallace Professor of International Studies and Dean of the Institute for Global Citizenship at Macalester College, responded that “the convocation is in NO way concerned directly with the contemporary electoral politics in Somaliland”. He added that “ we are, thus committed to keep the conversation along lines that avoid any involvement with the prevailing contests in Hargeisa. On the contrary, our task is to begin exploring what the deep structural condition of the community looks like and then engage in a mutually respectful and solidaristic dialogue to discover commonalities that might become the basis for a renewal of our peoplehood as we battle the ravages of underdevelopment and disarray”. 

We all subject our decision making to a rational process. This process entails evaluating the pros and cons regarding the matter at hand. Having obtained the above affirmation from the person who will be responsible for the convocation, I choose to be in favor of it. Additionally, Mr. Samatar, who is a distinguished professor and a man with long experience in broadcast journalism, is best suited to tackle any controversy that may emerge, protect the integrity of the gathering from divisive interests, create order, focus positively on the objective of the gathering and ensure a successful outcome. 

The gathering will have nothing to do with the polity best suited for the people. This is not the purpose of the gathering. Attacking some one for one’s political views reminds us of the discredited tactics, Kacaandiid, used by Siad Barre to intimidate his detractors. If this tactic is used to attack people gathering to talk about the conditions of their people, it will be ineffective and backfire by motivating more people to attend. If there are people who do not approve of the gathering, let them hold a gathering of their own at another date and location- that is the responsible way to act.   

Every one would agree that our people need empowerment, not hand outs. There has been regression in their conditions, not progress. Kids have schools to attend but after graduation there are no job prospects such that when they finish school some of them risk their lives by venturing into the high seas in ill-equipped boats. There is unrestrained procreation while food production has declined from the levels of the 1960s. People depend on remittance and food imports to stay alive. There are severe shortages of water. The road ways are more rutted than ever before. Mortality rate went down. If you look at every index that measure aspects of human life you will find them to be at the bottom of the totem. When the current generation of the disapora that remits money age and is replaced by a generation that has no emotional links to the folks back home, it is difficult to see how they will survive. It is high time to enable the people to take care of themselves. To be fair this decaying process has been underway for decades and one single individual can not be held responsible. 

The controversy swirling around the gathering touches at the core of our integrity and sense of self respect. There is no reason to fear that organizers will allow it to descend into recrimination and finger pointing. There is nothing to be gained by going that route. This being the first convention of its kind, let us hope participants will get engaged in constructive discussion, demonstrate courtesy and respect to each other, refrain from inappropriate conduct and strive to produce an outcome that appeals to, and is supported by, every one. Let us hope it will be successful such that we will look forward to the one to be held next year. 

Let the convocation go forward & let us all give our blessings to it.

Xafladdan oo ahayd mid ay ka muuqdeen astaamo kala duwan, siyaasad kala duwan iyo qawmiyado kala duwan ayaa markii ugu horreysay loosoo xawilay in Somaliland lagu qabto .Tan iyo shalay wixii magaaladaasi cidlada ah ka dhacayey ayaa soo jiitay dad badan oo markii hore u qaatay in caleemo saarka ugaaska Ciise yahay mid dhaqan ah ,isla markaana xidhiidh fiican u bilaabi doona guud ahaanba Ugaaskaasi iyo madax dhaqameedyada dalalka Itoobiya , Somaliland, Soomaaliya iyo Itoobiya.

Inkastoo aan lasoo koobi karayn xoogga iyo xoolaha beesha Ciise iyo dawladda Jabuuti geliyeen munaasabadda caleemo saarka Ugaaska Beeshaasi ayaa dhinaca waxa la arkayey dareenada kala duwan, damaca kala duwan iyo siyaasadaha kala duwan ee ay kala aaminsan yihiin dalalka ergooyinkoodu ka qaybgaleen xafladda caleemo saarka Ugaaska Ciise, isla markaana laga dhadhansan karayey sida xafladaasi dabada ugu wadataya arrimo ka baxsan caleemo saar madaxdhaqameed aan qaadh gaadh ahayn.

Xukuumadda Jabuuti iyo Somaliland oo iyaga marti loogu ahaa Saylac ayaa martidii ka kala timid dalalka deriska ah isla qaateen in waxa meesha ka dhacay aanay ahayn caleemo saar balse ahayd dhoolatus xukuumadda Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle ku samaynaysay gudaha Somaliland .

.Waa tan koowaade waxa magaaladaasi lasoo dhoobay ciidammo kala duwan oo ay leedahay Dawladda Jabuuti, lebiskoodii iyo hubkoodiina wata .

2.Waxa martidii ka timi dalka Jabuuti laga arkayey iyagoo sita calanka dawladooda isla markaana aan waxba iska saarin soohdinta ay soo dhaafeen iyo dhulka iyo dawladda ay usoo galeen .

3.Waa tan saddexaade dayaca ku dhacay martidii laga kala keenay Jabuuti ,Somaliland iyo Soomaaliyaba oo ay magaaladaasi ku qabsatay macaluul tii ugu darrayd oo aanay qaarkood weligood arag .

4.Waxa lagu bahdilay salaadiintii , hoggaamiye dhaqameedyadii looga yeedhay Somaliland, safarka dheer iyo rafaadkana ku gaadhay magaalada Saylac.

5.Cid kastoo xafladahaasi kala socotay shaashadaha tv-yada ,Jabuuti iyo meelo kaleba waxay ka marag kaceen sida dawladnimada Somaliland loogu baabiiyey dhulkaasi isla markaana cagta hoosteeda loo geliyey wufuuddii kala tegtay degaanada kala duwan ee Somaliland .

6.Xafladda Saylac loogu qabtay Ugaaska B/ciise oo khatargelin gaadhay nabadgelyada degaankaasi kaddib markii ammaanka dhulkaasi gacanta loo geliyey dawladda Jabuuti isla markaan meesha laga fogeeyey ciidamada Somaliland taasina ay kicisay dareenka taliyayaasdha ciidamada Somaliland oo dib iskaga waabiyey shicibkii martida ahaa ee aaminsanaa in degaanka Saylac hoos yimaaddo maamulka Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle balse la tusay inaanay weli degmada Saylac iyo gobolka Selel aanay ahayn daaradda xukuumadda Jabuuti, tallaabadaasina ay soo afjartay maalmo ama wiigag ugaaska iyo martida Jabuuti kasoo kaxaysayba kusii nagaadaan gudaha Somaliland ,iyadoo ra’iisal wasaare Dilate Maxamed Dilayte oo madaxweyne Geelle u metelayey xafladdani soo afjaray caleemosaarkii iyo damaashaadkii ,si degdeg ah jabuuti loogu duuliyey diyaaraddii ay ku yimaaddeen magaalada Saylac.

7.aragtida reer Somaliland iyo waayo aragnimada xafladdaasi ay kasoo qaateen Salaadiinta, Cuqaasha, Maamulayaasha laamaha dawladda iyo masuulyinnmta Somaliland oo wax ka beddelaysa aragtidoodii hore ay uga qabeen xukuumadda Jabuuti iyo xidhiidhka dawladda Somaliland maanta la leedahay inuusan ahayn mid ku salaysan derisnimo wanaag ee ay tahay qabsasho dawladda Jabuuti qabsatay ama laga iibiyey degaanka Saylac .

In kastoo beesha Ciise ka mid tahay beelaha degaanka Somaliland ama gobolkii hore loo odhan jiray Awdal  ayaan looga fadhiyin in xaflado noocan oo kala ah oo lagu waxyeelaynayo qarannimada Somaliland iyo dawladnimadooda ay ku qabtaan gudaha dalka kuna dafiraan qarannimada, calanka iyo jiritaanka Somaliland.

Gobolkan Awdal oo isagu ahaa gobolka madaxweyne Rayaale arrimo siyaasadeed iyo kuwa kaleba uga jaray gobolka Selel ayaa madaxdhaqameedii xafladaasi ka tegey la mid ahaayeen martida xafladaasi kaga timid puntland , soomaaliya iyo Itoobiya loona diiday inay xafladaasi ka jeediyaan afkaartii ay la tegeen, xafladaasina ay ku lumiyeen kalsooni xukuumadda madaxweyne Rayaale oo iyadu fasaxday in qarannimada Somaliland lagu dafiro gudaha Somaliland .dii shacbigu ku taageerayey wakhtigii ay ka hadlayeen iibinta jasiiradaha Saacaddiin iyo Ceebaad, balse maanta arrintu dhaaftay labadaa jasiiradood lagana hadlayo aayaha dad iyo dal kusii socda Jeebadda Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle .

Way dhici kartaa in guuldarada Somaliland iyo reer Awdalba kaga dhacday xafladaasi ay qaarkood ku faani doonaan hase yeeshee waxay guud ahaanba xafladdan reer Somaliland badi u arkayeen mid ujeeddooyin fog leh lana arki doono cawaaqibka ka dhasha dardaaran kii Marxuum Cigaal Rayaale kula dardaarmay:

 in Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle khatar ku yahay jiritaanka Somaliland , oggolaynna dawlad aan isaga ahayni inay kla shaqayso geeska Afrika , soomaali oo dhanna uu jeebka ku rito.

Ugu dambayntiina xafladda maalinta 1da March Ugaaska Ciise loogu qabtay Saylac ayaa ahayd maalin madow oo baal madow kaga qormi doonta taaiikhda reer Somaliland iyo reer Awdalba.,waxayna dareenadani durba dhirbaaxo kulul ku noqonayaan qaranimada iyo dawladimada Somaliland ,inkastoo malaha xukuumadda Rayaale ku faani doonto waxa ka dhacay halkaasi ee ceebta ku ahayd reer Somaliland .

The unbelievable turn of events in Zeila on Monday, the first day of March, following the miserable failure of the Djibout by crowning a fake scheme in Zeila. The failure of the scheme took place hours after the start of the fake cronation. The time to topple this staunchly anti-Somaliland dictator has just started. Somalilanders in Zeila could not believe the turn of events and started driving the invading foreigners from Zeila.  

Saylac – Saacad ka dib markii lagu dhawaaqay caleemo saarka ugaas Beesha Ciise ee ka dhacay magaalada Saylac waxa bilawday qudbado dhaadheer oo ay wufuuda kasoo jeeda wadanka Jabuuti ka jeediyeen madaasha lagu caleemo saarey Ugaaska Ciise.

Gudiga qabanqaabada Caleemo Saarka Ugaaska Ciise ayaa ku fashilmay inay dheeli tir ka dhigaan martisharafka ka kala timid Jabuuti iyo  kuwa Somaliland oo wasiiro ku jireen. Bilowgii Caleema saarka ayaa buuq ka dhex bilowday dowlada Jabuuti madaxdeeda iyadoo ninkii hogaaminayay ragii soo helay Ugaaska oo khudbadeydanaya yiri “Waxaan nimid dhulka Soomaaliya” kadibna waxaa orday Wasiirka Waxbarashada Jabuuti oo ku yiri dheh Somaliland balse Odayga ayaa diiday oo yiri Soomaaliya ayaan joognaa isagoo diidayay Somaliland jiritaankeeda, waxuuna yiri “Dabkii la tuuray oo ay u gambisay Somaliland ayaa ku dhacay Koonfurta oo ilaa iminka ka holcaya Soomaaliya ayaan aniga aqoonsanahay” kaasoo durba dhalisay khilaaf dhex yimaada madaxdii Somaliland ka socotay iyo kuwa Jabuuti oo kuraaasta kala qaatay kana durqay.
 
Saladiinta reer Hargeysa iyo Xildhibaano badan ayaa markiiba go’a shaalka ah garabka saartey kana dareeray hoolka weyn ee khudbadaha kala duwani ka bilawdeen iyagoo ka cadhooday sida gudiga qaban qaabada caleema saarka Ugaaska Ciise u yaraystey wufuuda kala duwan ee kasoo kala kicitimay Jamuuriyada Somaliland oo ay ku jireen Wasiiro, Xildhibaano iyo Saladiin intuba.
 
Wufuudan reer Somaliland ee ka dareertey hoolka lagu caleema saarayey Ugaaska Ciise ayaa waxay shegeen in caleemo saarka Ugaaska ciise aanu ahayn sidii ay filayeen ee dhaqanku ahaa ee ay ka danbayso arimo aan horey uga dhicin gobolka oo ah in dawlada Jabuuti gacanta weyn isbiday inay Saylac ka talin karto  masuuliyiintii reer somaliland ee dhulka lahaana ay maanta noqdeen kuwo hadalka loo diidey oo hoolka xaga danbe fadhiyo looga diyaariyey sida shacabka caleemo saarka kasoo qayb galayna loola dhaqmay.
 
Murankan ayaa cirka isku shareeray ka dib markii qaybinta hadalka ay durba isku khilaafeen jilibyada Beesha Ciise oo ku loolalamay hadal korodhsi iyo in jilib walbaa isaga la dhegaysto isla markaana wakhtigii hadalka loogu talo galay ay Cuqaasha Beesha ciise qaar ka mid ahi iska indho tireen kuna fogaadeen ilaa intay ka daalayeen.
 
Waftiga dhinaca Jabuuti ayaa isagu nasiib u helay in Hoolka halka ugu horeysa loo furaasho waxa ku xigay  laynka labaad  ee dadka muhiim ah oo laga dhigay Cuqaasha iyo madaxdhaqameedka Jilibyada Ciise ee dalka Itoobiya oo safka labaad lagu marti qaaday  halkaasna safka ugu danbeeya ay ku midoobeen Madaxdii iyo wufuudii iyo waliba Saladiintaii Somaliland oo ay weheliyaan shacabka reer Jabuuti ee iyagu usoo socdaalay caleemo saarka Ugaaska Beesha Ciise ee maanta ka dhacay magaalada Saylac.
 
Inyar ka dib ayaa waxa la maqlay rasaas aad u xoogan oo ka dhacaysa diabada hoolka weyn ee caleemo saarka Ugaaska Beesha Ciise ka dhacayey rasaastaa oo ay  rideen ciidamada Somaliland iyo ciidamada ilaalada dharcada ah ee reer Jabuuti oo iyagu gabi ahaanba ku daadsanaa agagaarka hoolka Caleemo saarku ka dhacayo iyadoo rasaastan oo timi ka dib markii ay shacabka magaalada Saylac ka cadhoodeen in laga horjoogsado inay xaflada ka qayb galaan.
 
Dadweynaha reer Somaliland ee degan magaalada Saylac oo gabi ahaanba laga horjoogsaday loona diiday in caadhadhka xaflada lagu galayo wax laga siiyo tanina waxay keentey in qaar ka mida ahi rasaas oogta kaga qadaan guriga Caleemo saarka Ugaasku ka dhacayo, Arintan oo ciidamada nabad sugiga Somaliland ee uu hogaaniminayey General Maxamed xudhuun ay dajiyeen dadkiina kala eryeen.
 
Sidoo kale dadweynaha degan magaalada Jabuuti oo aad u dhawrayey inay caleemo saarka Ugaaska beesha Ciise ka daawadaan TV ga qaranka Jabuuti ayaa ku hungoobay inay arkaan caleemo saarka muranku ka dhashay oo ay dawlada Jabuuti gabi ahaanba joojisey inay TVga laga soo daayo madaamada ay rasaas iyo rabshado ka dhasheen caleemo saarka Ugaas Beesha Ciise .
 
Dhinaca kale lafo ka tirsan Jilibyada beelaha ciise ee Itoobiya ayaa oo kasoo dareeray xaflada caleemo saarka Ugaas Mustafe oo saxaafada gobolka Awdal kula kulmay banaanka hoolka caleemo saarku ka dhacayo ayaa sheegay inay ka anfariiren sida qaldan ee dawlada Jabuuti siyaasada u hoos wado caleemo saarka Ugaaska ay jecel yihiin waxaanay shegeen inayna marnaba filayn sidan in ay xaflada caleemo saarku u dhacdo ergo ka tirsan jilibka Odax gob oo la hadashay saxaafada oo magaciisa la yidhaahdo Cumar Oday-waa ayaa sheegay in tariikhda maanta aan horey looga arag Ugaas rasaas lagu caleemo saarey eediisana waxa leh ayuu yidhi Madaxweynaha Jamuuriyada Jabuuti Ismaaciil Cumar Geleh oo aanan la garanayn waxa uu ka damacsan yahay qaskan  kacay maanta
 
Arimaha yaabka leh ee ee ka dhacay hoolka lagu caleemo saareyey ugaaska Beesha ciisa waxa ka mid ahaa ka dib markii gabadh ka mida wufuuda ka timi dalka Itoobiya ay sheegtey in aanu odaygii jilibkeeda matalayey aanu iman xaflada Caleemo saarka isla markaana ay iyadu matalayso hadalkana qaadanayso !! Arintan ayaa anfariir waxay ku dhalisey gudida qabanqaabada caleemo saarka Ugaska Beesha Ciise waxaana inmudo ah lagu murmay in gabadha loo ogolaado inay jilibkeeda u hadasho iyo in tani dhaqanka soomaaliyeed burinayso ceebna ku noqon doonto caleemo saarka Ugaaska.
 
Waftiga ka socday dalka Jabuuti ayaa si cad ugu cadaadiyey gudiga qaban qaabada caleemo saarka Ugaska Ciise inay ogoladaan qoftan haweenka ahi inay hadasho jilibkeedana u hadasho arintan iyana dhalisey in ku dhawaad 7 Oday dhaqameed oo kale ka dareeraan madaasha caleemo saarku ka dhacayey ka dib markii gabadhii qaadatey mikrofoonka iyadoo aayadaha quraanka ku bilawday hadalkeeda!!
 
Ergooyinkan reer Somaliland ee ka dareeray caleemo saarka Ugaaska ciise ee magaalada Saylac ayaa iyaguna dhinacooda la yaabay sababta ay Saladiinta Gobolka Awdal ugu hadheen Hoolka caleemo saarka oo ay ka fadhiyeen meesha ugu danbaysa isla markaana aan wax hadal ah loo ogolaan inay xaflada kasoo jeediyaan. Arintan ayaa waxay si weyn uga cadheysiisey dadweynaha reer Saylac ee ay  Beelaha Samaroon oo aad ugu xumaaday sababta ay Saladiinta reer Awdal u ogolaadeen inay kusii hadhaan  hool aan wax tixgalin ah lagu siin loona ogolaan inay hal eray ka yidhaahdaan haba yaraatee.
 
Loolanka hadal biirsi iyo xafiiltanka laandheerenimo ee beelaha Ciise iskugu faanayeen ayaa ahaa mid qofwalba si gaara usoo jiidata marka laga reebo muwaadiniinta Jamuuriyada somaliland ee shirka kasoo qayb galay oo iyagu xafiiltankan u arkayey ku meel qaldan ka dhacaya.

Ugaaskaan ayaa si deg-deg ah Galabnimadii markii la Caleema saaray ugu baxay Saylac iyadoo hore loo go’aamiyay inuu Saylac joogo muddo 7-cisho ah balse taasi waxaa diiday madaxda Jabuuti kadib muran xoogan oo kala soo dhex galay Jabuuti iyo Somaliland.

Both the Djibouti governments of Hassan Guled and Geelle closed the border between the two countries nearly a dozen times since 1991. In almost all cases, that illegal and arbitrary closure of the border may have been largely motivated by clan hatred, insecurity, unwarranted fear or shear incompetence of understanding the consequences. The movement of goods and people between Somaliland and Djibouti  was a matter of life and death at the time.
 
Djiboutians used to be admitted to the country’s boarding schools for free. At the height of Djibouti’s struggle for independence, the people of Somaliland and Somalia for that matter were fully with them. Djiboutian refugees have been welcomed with open arms. But since the independence of 1977, everything went upside down.
 
When Siyad Barre’s dictatorship was ravaging Somaliland and other parts of the  Somalia, Hassan Guled the former Djibouti president blatantly sided with Siyad Barre. As a result of that wrong policy, Somaliland refugees suffered serious violation of their human rights.They were subjected to all kinds of mistreatment including deportation, police brutality, arbitrary imprisonment and physical assault.
 
The Djibouti government refused to recognize refugees fleeing Siyad Barre’s brutal military machine. These people who left behind all their possessions, have to hide among relatives in Djibouti and never were given a refugee status. On the other hand, the so-called Issa refugees from Ethiopia have been given automatic refugee status.  
 
That was a flagrant violation of the universal declaration of human rights signed in Geneva in “1949″. As a signatory of the afore-said protocol, Djibouti has breached that important document and its tenets. In contrast during the peak of Djibouti’s independence struggle of the 1970s, Djiboutian refugees were all welcomed with open arms, and used to be given free meals and free hotels almost anywhere in Somaliland and Somalia.
 
The above-mentioned principles will be only respected If Single-clan dominated African Banana Republics were real states headed by real national leaders, but not artificial clan enclaves masquerading as real states and led by Clan chieftains.  Unfortunately the latter may true here.
 
I wonder how come former refugees welcomed, comforted and supported treat their former hospitable hosts with such a harsh treatment, deportation, exclusion and hatred. What exactly went wrong? many of us are still wrestling with the reasons that triggered such asymmetrical behaviors.
 
Both the former president Hassan Guled and his Successor, and the current one Mr. Geelle were behind such distasteful policies, which seriously strained the historical brotherly relationship between the people of Djibouti and Somaliland. These hostile and unreasonable policies against anything Somali are well and alive as I speak.    
 
Djibouti’s so-called presidential election of 2005
 
Seeing the president for  life of this tiny state campaigning for his re-election was ludicrous. You may wonder why he was frantically campaigning when there was no opponent running against him. But you may come to your senses and remember you are in Africa. It was actually fun to watch Mr. Geelle crisscrossing Djibouti, kissing babies, greeting and waving to people.
 
That whimsical act just looks like a scene from a fictional movie acting by a fictional character.This Machiavellian, manipulative maharajah (king or prince) keeps on coming with different colors and faces. Grasping his real intentions, aspirations and conspiracies is almost next to impossible. This wolf in sheep’s clothes has so far deceived almost everybody. But at the end of the day, the words opportunistic, selfish, myopic, despotic, clannish, callous and inept will be all over his finger prints.
 
He systematically used all the government machinery including the media, government officials, transportation and what have you to put him on top. Following his winning of the trade mark; traditional 99% of the vote in the presidential election, he has metamorphosed into fully grown despot along the lines of Africa’s notorious big men, regarding the rigging of elections. People such as Milton Obotte, clownish Bukassa, Mughabe, Hosni Mubarak, and Mobutu the inept butcher who engineered the assassination of a beloved African nationalist leader Patrice Lumumba will come to mind.
 
During the time of Djibouti’s unique presidential elections, the US state department issued the following and I quote ” Mr. Geelle deprived from his people the ability to change their government”.  Djibouti’s one man presidential election of 2005, have completed the metamorphosis of Mr. Geelle  from a semi-despot into a full fledged one with all his attributes, from the extermination of the freedom of expression of his citizens, creating a well-funded, omnipresent secret service agency, monitoring and watching the activities of their citizens round the clock, and spending a big chunk of the countries meager budget on his personal security detail.
 
I would also like to draw your attention into Geelle’s blemished resume. Since the country’s achievement of the nominal independence in 1977, he  was a notorious secret services director in the Hassan Guled government. The full-fledged dictator thinks the French mercenaries stationed in his min-state will suppress those opposing his dictatorial regime.
 
The performance of French forces in Ivory Coast proved otherwise. They failed to stop the onslaught of the opposition groups who occupied the northern part of the country. We must also have to cautiously take note, of Geelle’s burning  propensity to violent attacks against his political enemies. 
 
This eternal presence of French foreign forces certainly make him feel bold, invincible, unaccountable, intransigent and keeps on committing serious civil and human rights violations. The presence of said forces is an open ended proposition. Therefore, I have the liberty to infer that France is in full complicity with Geelle regarding his improprieties and violence against his people.
 
The withdrawal of those mercenaries from Djibouti appears to be in no one’s agenda anywhere. Talking about the foreign forces in Djibouti seems to become a taboo which nobody can talk about.
 
The most opportune time to talk about the future of these foreign forces in the country has just availed itself now, regarding the compromised moral code of such forces, and the high incidence of infectious diseases in Djibouti.
 
Moreover, Djibouti government has no jurisdiction over French foreign legions If they commit crimes in the country.
 
This open ended French presence made the clan that dominated Djibouti political scene since 1977 more arrogant, less transparent and less accountable. This false premise that the French forces will always come to their rescue If they got into trouble, made Djibouti’s tribal government less and less diverse, more dictatorial and less accommodating. Ironically Djibouti’s colonial government and parliament were much more diverse, than the post independent Djibouti government and parliament.
 
For all practical purposes, the relatively large Gadaboursi and Isaak communities were disenfranchised, and their votes doesn’t count. Therefore, It is rather ridiculous to hear those hailed from Djibouti complaining about holding the Somaliland September 29Th, parliamentary elections in Saylac. I wonder how come they are so blind about the distasteful actions, hostilities, discrimination and barbaric behavior towards the Gadaboursi, Isaak and Afar communities in Djibouti. They are well aware that,  Djiboutian Somalilanders were not even got the opportunity to vote in a fair and transparent elections.
 
Their utter indifference to the blight of Djiboutian Somalilanders, will take away the credibility from whatever they may say or claim. Many Saylites and others will always harbor the belief that, those Issa elements complaining about injustice are trouble makers working for the government of Djibouti to destabilize Somaliland.
 
Many Somalilanders already knew what is really behind the tenacity of this fraudsters, which among other things is to acquire as many  arbitrary seats and quotas as possible.
 
Enentually Their main ojective is to destabilize Somaliland. The actions of these twisted minds has been observed in Arta, Embagatti and other forums which didn’t even concern Somaliland. You will never see these fictitious pretenders to Sayla in the real forums where the development, education or health care regarding Saylac or Somaliland were discussed. 
 
What they need to do right now is to tell their despotic regime in Djibouti to respect the civil and human rights of all her citizens. They ought to tell him to stop his endless sabotages and conspiracies against the people of Somaliland. Actions like that may help repair your checkered record a bit with the people of Somaliland.    
 
The people of this God forsaken land-Djibouti also enjoyed more freedom under the notorious French colonial authorities. On the other hand, the Djibouti parliament is not based on population size but on a false and baseless mambo Jumbo premise, which has been secretly agreed upon in “1977″ in Paris between Hassan Guled’s party and the French.
 
“1977″ political deal looks much like “1943″ French drafted constitution of Lebanon. That constitution gave the presidency and other top powers to the christian community. That lopsided constitution was largely one of the major factors that triggered the “1975″ Lebanese civil war.
 
In the same token the 1977 secret agreement between Hassan Guled and the French has sparked the rise of the FRAUD ( the Front  for the Restoration of Democracy). The FRAUD waged an aggressive guerrilla war with the government of Djibouti. The war with FRAUD was ended in the early 1990s.
 
A cease fire was signed and some pench marks for the government of Djibouti to follow were agreed upon. But according to a recent FRAUD press release, the Djibouti government has breached the agreed upon cease fire agreements. They warned to wage another armed campaign against the regime, had they not head their lawful demands.
 
The “FRAUD” waged a devastating guerrilla war that spanned for several years against the Djibouti government.     
 
During his tenure as Hassan Guled’s chief security and intelligence chief,  many people have mysteriously disappeared and torturing of political opponents, and the non Issa groups was the norm not the exception.
 
Another big blimp on his resume is the brutal assassination of Mr. Borrel a French human rights attorney, on an assignment for investigating human rights abuses sent shock waves through France and Djibouti.
 
Mr. Borrel basically came to Djibouti to investigate Geelle’s reign of terror whereby people were falsely accused, tortured and dragged of their homes at the dark of the night, and a number of those people have been mysteriously died in prison. The names of some of those unfortunate victims are available.
 
That was nothing but a systematic ethnic cleansing efforts aimed to eject as much non Issas as they can from Djibouti. This triggered thousands of non Issa family to flee the country from 1989 to the present.
 
It is incumbunt upon all the states  these non Issas (Gadaboursi and Isaaks) are taking refuge, to recognize these people as refugees.  Many of these people have sought refugee status in Europe, Canada and the US.
 
The magnitude of the brutality that culminated with the assassination of Mr. Borrel was  beyond comprehension. He was a French civil and human rights attorney.  Mr. Borrel who collected a wealth of information during his stay in Djibouti was seen as a huge threat to the status quo, and apparently an order from the highest echelons of power was given out for his physical elimination. Mr. Borrel’s wife and others directly implicated Mr. Geelle who was the chief security chief of the country at the time.
 
Even in a world where the physical removal of opponents is the norm not the exception, the malignancy, the ferocity, and callousness of that cold blooded execution style killing was too extreme.
 
While the Djibouti president was on a victory tour in France, a French judge ruled Mr. Geelle who was at the time the chief Djibouti security officer at the time of the killing, to appear in a court hearing, regarding Mr. Borrel’s brutal assassination. But as expected the subpoena was ignored and he continued on his tour.
 
We have seen what the for life despicable African leaders has the potentiality to do when they are cornered by their detractors. Memories of Rwanda, and the butchery in Bosnia, Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, and many other places is still vivid in our minds.

A note to the international community
 
The international community has a major role to play here, had they have to avert other countries from becoming other Somalias, Rwandas, Darfurs, Congoes and Ivory Coasts. They need to reassess the automatic membership of all states  to the UN and other international organizations. Membership should should be a privilege and not a right. Membership in the international organizations and recognition of states should be conditional on performance, good governance, respect of human and civil rights, democracy and the rule of law. The twentieth century paradigm with respect to independent states should have to change.
 
It is imperative among the UN, the world bank, IMF, the international donors to think twice of prolonging the lives of brutal, genocidal dictators. Unfortunately many who rebelled against those dictators also failed miserably, to move their countries out the morass and mayhem brought about by the myopic life long despots. We have seen Liberia, Sierra Leone,Somalia, Ethiopia and other places fall into disintegration, destruction, self-immolation and catastrophe.
 
All these cataclysmic events didn’t happen by accident. They have been happened because of an unchecked, and an unlimited power accumulated in the hands of one man. We have seen the potentiality for genocide, mass murder and destruction these selfish despots are capable of doing when they are threatened. We understood how these modern monsters care less of a nation, people, country and even the clan. 
 
They still keep on tirelessly engaged in their earth-moving rhetoric of division, sowing the seeds of hatred between communities, excessively using the clan card. The huge polarization of communites is not by accident but by design. The despotic, vision-less, inept, and mediocre leadership in Somalia triggered the irreversible disintegration of a once a proud nation.
 
Besides the Issas and the Afars, the state of Djibouti bordering Somaliland is ironically populated by two major groups in Somaliland, the Gadaboursi and the Isaak communities.
 
The French installed the Issas there in a deal that took place in a closed door in Paris in 1977. In that infamous deal the FLCS ( the Front for the Liberation of the Somali Coast), who have waged an armed struggle against the French colonial forces in the then French Somaliland, led by Dr. Omar Osman Rabbe and others was shut out from the so-called independent negotiations. According to that deal population census will not matter much. Which means the Issas by hook or crook should always hold the presidency, and a number of other political posts at all times. 
 
The Gadaboursi and the Isaak communites have through the years suffered unlawful imprisonment, constant harassment, shutout from employment and purged from high government posts. Several ethnic cleansing campaigns have been waged to reduce the population of these communities. That was a top government policy. There was one time in the mid-1990s when several hundred teachers from the Gadaboursi and Isaak communities all of a sudden left Djibouti and sought political asylum in Europe. 
 
Both Geelle government and Hassan Guled’s government have pursued harsh, inhuman and dictatorial polices that has seriously strained the historical relationship, between between the brotherly communities of Somaliland and Djibouti. Despite the phased ethnic cleansing of the Gadaboursi and the Isaaks from Djibouti, the latter can still pose a serious threat to Geelle’s government had free elections are conducted in Djibouti. The mentality of the Issa regime in Djibouti was to keep the numbers of the Gadaboursi and the Isaaks down by all means.
 
The country has very little known resources. The main assets of the country are the airport and the seaport. Nowadays Mr. Geelle leased both of the afore-said assets to an Abu-Dubai Arab company who run, manage and control these facilities but with a very hefty fees.
 
Those two facilities were the major employer of the country. Following the takeover of the airport and the seaport by an Abu Dubai company, many people have lost their jobs. Rising port fees and taxes costed Djibouti to loose a significant Ethiopian transit business.
 
The Ethiopian business used to enjoy a grace period of about 45 days, whereby storage fees were not charged on their goods.That privilege was reduced to 30 days before the Arab company took over. Then the foreign port management company further reduced that grace period into 15 days just recently.
 
That triggered a huge protest from the Ethiopian business leaders.  Anyhow at the end of the day, the Ethiopian businesses unhappiness will translate into a lost business, and that means less revenues and more unemployment. According to the latest unofficial reports, unemployment figures in Djibouti run over 60%..
 
When was the claim on “Saylac” started
 
This baseless claim on Saylac started at the beginning of the disintegration of the former Somalia at the early 1990’s. Djibouti rulers counting on the French foreign legions in their land will defend them from any spillover to Djibouti, became heavily involved in an aggressive policy of destabilization of Somaliland for the last 15 years.
 
Since 1991, the clannish government of Djibouti sends trained terrorists and sometimes regular Djibouti forces to cross the border into Awdal region of Somaliland. On several occasions, They have temporarily occupied some areas of Awdal. But every time they have been routed by an amalgamation of area natives and the Somaliland forces.
 
Nowadays the Issa regime in Djibouti changed tactics and came with a new long range policy of annexing some parts of Awdal. With the blessing of president Rayaale and the UNHCR, the Djibouti authorities start repatriating thousands of people from Ethiopia to Awdal. That shortsighted and lackluster policy caused a serious controversy in Awdal.
 
This has caused so much tension, and the indigenous people have repeatedly complained to the Somaliland government, to stop bringing this people from Ethiopia. They don’t mind letting Awdalite of all stripes into the state of Awdal , but totally against bringing the natives of another country. This is the new policy when the policy of force and annexation has been miserably failed. This policy will also fail. 
 
Following the French engineered defeat of the pro-independent party led by the late Mohamud Harbi in 1958. Awdalite leaders at the time, decided  to give the two Saylac parliamentary seats to their Issa brethren without any election. Therefore, since the military coup of 1969 in the now defunct “Somalia”, two Issa parliamentarians from Sayla  were coming into the parliament of the then Republic of Somalia.
 
On the other hand, regarding Somaliland parliamentary elections, several Issa  individuals called to stop holding election in Saylac. That means allotting all seats to the Issas without any election. The indigenous Gadaboursi leaders in the area rejected that none sense and told them, If you have the numbers you are claiming, go and vote and win the allotted Saylac seats.

With all the things their government has done to the Gadaboursi, Isaaks and the Afar they seem still to be  dreaming of a long lost privilege. In September 29Th election in Saylac, the Issas won a parliamentary seat. The people of Somaliland will never forget the unnecessary mistreatment they suffered in Djibouti.
 
These groups would have being kept quiet and not remind the people of Somaliland, what their fascist clannish regime have done to the Djibouti Somalianders, and still  doing to these communties. Historically these false pretenders were never in charge of Saylac, never had Real Estate and not had a large population in the city of Saylac-ancient Awdal.
 
These people have been helped, financed and encouraged by the Djibouti government. Moreover, They never did any act or effort to improve the lives of Saylites. There is a group called Awdal Development Agency who have built schools in all the rural districts of Awdal. I never heard of these impostors to the crown of Saylac ever helping these noble efforts.
 
Some of these eternal wanners are working for the government of Djibouti to destabilize Somaliland. That is why they are stirring up trouble. But let me tell this people, they will never succeed with a borrowed power, which is nowadays increasingly dimishining. people living in this neck of the woods will for ever defend their rights, land and dignity. Impostors working for foreign entities will never succeed.
 
History of the unopposed seats of Saylac

The already severely marginalized Awdalites in the former Somalia, have the wherewithal to give almost half of their so meager parliamentary allotments to their Issa neighbors. But in 1977, when Djibouti achieved its nominal independence, the French installed Issa leadership totally marginalized both the ethnic Gadaboursi and Isaaks.
 
The sectarian narrow government didn’t stop there, they purged the above-named communities from the top government posts. These communities have been exposed to endless government harassment, imprisonment and other forms violence of violence without probable cause.  
 
Nowadays the government of Djibouti is constantly conspiring against Somaliland and its people. This government already succeeded to put a wedge between the brotherly people of Somaliland and Djibouti. This tiny enclave, which the people of Somaliland helped, marched and agitated for them have not answered in kind.
 
Djibouti government which itself is practically illegitimate is bad mouthing, disparaging and agitating for the political and economical destruction of the people of Somaliland. Since 1991, the government of Djibouti has closed the border between the two countries more than dozen times.
 
According to the international law that is an act of war and illegal. So-called member states of the UN can not close the border without serious security concerns and an imminent threat. Non of the above were existent at the time. This was an attempt to put pressure on the people of Somaliland to cede land to Djibouti. That will never happen. If you look on what this government did for its people for the last thirty years. Almost nothing has been done regarding infra-structures, job creation, civil and human rights, education and health care.
